Barbara Zangerl repeats Silbergeier in the Rätikon

Zangerl repeated the route together with Tobias Bitschnau and she told Planetmountain "This repeat means a lot to me, above all because when I tried it two years ago I was forced to abandon it because of injury. Yesterday, together with Tobias, I led all the pitches and sent them straight off, without falling. But at times I got really frightened by the long run-outs... I'm really happy, a dream come true that began two years ago with 4 days of attempts. Plus another 7 this year for what is a truly fantastic route! Respect to Beat for this great climb!"

It's worth noting that Zangerl, renowned above all as a boulderer, has slowly but surely been making a name for herself for her har dmulti-pitch repeats, such as End of Silence on the Feuerhorn, Delicatessen in Corsica and Hotel Supramonte in Sardinia.
